Can't remember he was as good for Everton as for us especially in 11-12 and 12-13 seasons, but yeah you might be right. Didn't really follow Everton or Arteta before he became our player.
He was really, really good for a while on the wings then got injured and reinvented himself, played well for a season then had a tough season, then he went to you. I might have missed a season in there somewhere but that was the gist of it.
